Eat your heart
out, tooth fairy. According to the informal research of the author, the world
is full of other, equally fascinating myths and traditions about what
happens, or should be done, when those milk choppers part company with
childish gums. If you come from Chile or Costa Rica, your parents will have
the tooth made into a charm. If you're Venezuelan, you put the tooth under
your pillow and hope that a mouse brings you money. (Oddly enough, mice, milk
teeth, and money are associated all over the world.) Playful illustrations by
G. Brian Karas include a world map, plus lots of fun depictions of the
world's dentally challenged junior inhabitants. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr
